Are you sure you just want to add "http://"; in front of the URL? If so
it's trivial, as several respondants have shown. But I would have
thought what you really wanted was to transform the relative URI into an
absolute URI, by resolving it against some base URI (typically the base
URI of the element in the source document). That can be done in XPath
2.0 using the resolve-uri() function, but it's not straightforward in
1.0, and probably needs an extension function to get it right.

Subject: [xsl] Editing URLs
Hello all,
I am writing an XSLT that I want to edit HREFs. Currently my
XHTML source
files do not include http:// in the cross-references. They
are phrased as
"<a href="maps.maps.html">blah, blah, blah</a>". Because of
my process I
need to add in "http://"; at the beginning of the URLs. For
the life of me,
I cannot figure out how to make this work. Any suggestions?
